The photographer is incredibly patient and professional, yet makes the session feel fun and natural -- no stiff poses, no "say cheese" nonsense. The photos themselves are amazing. Every shot captures genuine smiles and personality, whether it's a family session, a beach backdrop, or just everyday moments. You leave with images that look effortless but feel full of character. From start to finish, the experience is smooth and enjoyable. The staff make you feel comfortable, guide you through poses naturally, and ensure the end result is something you'll actually want to display. Highly recommend for anyone wanting professional photos without the awkwardness of a traditional studio.

I cannot emphasize enough the photographic skill and creativity of Richel Lavette. I recently…read morehosted a once-in-a-lifetime fraternity "Chartering" event that included both an early afternoon initiation, as well as a 190 person celebratory banquet including dinner, numerous guest speakers and awards to be presented. She handled both events professionally and with a great eye for framing, lighting and spontaneity. Richel Lavette is the consummate professional photographer. Her skill set includes image set up, proper lighting, images that tell a story, taking charge of large group photos with incredible tact, and looking for the small details that make a good image even better. Ms. Lavette can see what others do not. Her experience, and speed in finding the right images tell an unparalleled story. She requires initial input from the client, and once she understands the priorities, Richel can work independently with little to no supervision. But, beyond her obvious skills as a photographer, she has a strong work ethic and is always ready to capture a spontaneous moment that some photographers simply do not see. Her people skills are outstanding, and is always encouraging people to smile, and have fun while being photographed. Her greatest skills? The ability to listen, interpret, and deliver spectacular results. Lavette Photo Studios is an excellent photo studio, and I give Richel, and her studio my highest recommendations. She earned it.

Told them to not go to the bar and take any shots caught them doing so. Had to tell the bartender that they aren't guests that they are the "photographers". I had to tell them to leave right after the ceremony because they were upsetting guests and throwing up in the bathroom. We had a contract that he would release our photos within 7 days. A month later he says that none are worth trying to save. I requested a refund from him and he just gives me the run around and has now stopped responding to my messages!

My husband and I used online reviews, blogs, and word of mouth recommendations to find our wonderful vendors and we would like to share our experience. From our home in New York, we spent about a year planning our mid-February wedding at the Coral Gables Country Club in Miami Florida with approximately 115 guests. We hired Justin DeMutiis to be our photographer for the wedding and from start to finish he was great. Justin's effort to get to know our personal style in the beginning of the process resulted in poses we felt comfortable with, the questionnaires he had us fill out before the wedding were key in scheduling the shots we wanted, and his overall calm and helpful demeanor was appreciated amidst the stress of planning a wedding long distance. Justin primarily works in the Tampa area, but traveled to Miami for us and even helped us find other vendors with a similar aesthetic and level of professionalism. We recently received the images from our wedding and they are beautiful. Justin used both a digital and a film camera and has an talent for working with natural light that results in crisp images with great depth and tone. The photographs truly captured the spirit of our wedding and we're glad that we entrusted Justin with the difficult task of documenting our special day.

They're so enthusiastic, creative, and open to all your photo op ideas. Even members of my family and wedding party kept complimenting how cool they both were and how well they worked together!! There was so much emotion captured in their photos--we could literally feel the happiness coming out of the photos or relive the struggle not to cry. It's also so valuable to have a photographer who makes you both feel comfortable being in LOVE in front of them. During the photoshoot of just my husband and me, Crist and Hannah made us feel like it was just the two of us, completely in the moment, while at the same time hyping up all of the amazing shots they were getting and making us feel like we were the best couple they've ever worked with. They added so much to our wedding team. We can't thank them enough for being so flexible and for sticking with us through the craziness of Covid-wedding planning.
